Totoro and Bear Calzone Bento

Today the kids get calzones again! I used roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, lots of cheese, and baby arugula in the meatless ones, and salami and pepperoni in the meatlover ones. Love them. MisterMan got Totoro, with radish and nori eyes and nose, and soba whiskers, and TinySprite got a brown bear.
The rest of the bentos contain broccoli, peapods, carrots, corn, plum, strawberries, blackberries and grapes. Love this pizza and calzone week. Super fun and easy, and everyone's happy! P.S. I think I'm getting the hang of shaping them now. No puffy pig snouts!

    I love it when you make Totoros!! This one is super adorable. The little bear calzone is cute too, but Totoro has a special place in my heart :) Making calzones for bentos is a marvelous idea!

    Thanks Chantale! It's easy to make calzones. It's the same dough as for pizza, and in fact it's even easier to fill the pocket than to lay on top the crust!
